This is a very early photograph of Kings Road. Harrison’s Hotel, named after George Harrison, its first owner, can be seen on the right, but this does not help to establish the period as it has been there since the 1830s. Note, however, the absence of the kerbside iron railings. These were introduced during the mid-1860s as Kings Road was widened. In my opinion this photograph dates from 1860.
